About the Battery

The mobile computer ships with a 3.85 VDC, 15.5 watt-hour Li-ion battery manufactured for Honeywell International Inc.

Before you attempt to use, charge or replace the battery in the device, carefully read all labels, markings, and product documentation provided in the box or online atsps.honeywell.com. To learn more about Battery Maintenance for Portable Devices, go to honeywell.com/PSS- BatteryMaintenance.

We recommend the use of Honeywell Li-ion battery packs. Use of any non- Honeywell battery may result in damage not covered by the warranty.

Ensure all components are dry prior to placing the battery in the computer. Mating wet components may cause damage not covered by the warranty.

Install Battery

Charge the Mobile Computer

The mobile computer ships with a partially charged battery.
Charge the battery with a CT40/CT45 Series charging device for a minimum of 3 hours.

Note: Using the computer while charging the battery increases the time required to reach a full charge. If the mobile computer is drawing more current than supplied by the charging source, charging will not take place.

We recommend the use of Honeywell accessories and power adapters. Use of any non-Honeywell accessories or power adapters may cause damage not covered by the warranty.

CT45/CT45 XP series mobile computers are designed for use with CT40/CT45 Series charging accessories. For more information, see the CT40/CT45 Series Accessory Guide available for download at sps.honeywell.com.

Ensure all components are dry prior to mating the computers and batteries with peripheral devices. Mating wet components may cause damage not covered by the warranty.

About the USB Type C Connector

You can use the provided USB cable to charge the mobile computer from a host device (e.g., laptop or desktop computer). The connected host device must supply minimum power output of 5V, 0.5A to the CT45/CT45 XP or the battery will not charge.
